Signature analysis and defect detection in layered manufacturing of ceramic sensors and actuators

This paper presents the concept of a process signature for the use of online signature analysis and defect detection in the layered manufacturing (LM) of ceramic sensors and actuators. To achieve the high quality of parts built by the fused deposition of ceramics (FDC), an online process-monitoring system is implemented to detect the processing defects. Using a process signature extracted from the image of a layer captured by the monitoring system, an ideal image is created that is then compared to the original image to detect and identify the defects. Some results of signature analysis and defect detection for single-material and multi-material parts are also presented.Received: 22 July 1999, Accepted: 21 October 2001, Published online: 29 October 2003 Correspondence to: Mohsen A.

通过分析影响磁体高温性能的因素,设计了新磁体的成分为:Cu含量高,Fe含量低,Zr适量,Sm含量高;采用粉末冶金工艺制备了高温Sm_2(CoFeCuZr)_(17)永磁体。制得的磁体室温磁性能为:B_r1.075 T,H_(ei)2 098.2 kA/m,H_(eb) 776.1 kA/m,H_k843.8 kA/m,(BH)_(max)210.0 kj/m~3;在200℃时的磁性能为:B_r0.991 T,H_(ci)1 175.7 kA/m,H_(cb)531.7 kA/m,H_k577.9 kA/m,(BH)_(max)172.5 kJ/m~3;矫顽力温度系数β(20～200℃)为-0.24％/℃。经理论分析和实验验证,磁体的使用温度均超过400℃,为高温环境(高于400℃)提供了一种实用性永磁材料。     

小议变动成本法的合理性

企业对盈亏临界点的计算通常是以变动成本法为基础，但也有以制造成本法为计算基础的，对于这两种成本方法计算的几种盈亏临界点的情况，本文结合案例，通过比较分析认为：盈亏临界点的计算应当以变动成本法为基础更为合理。

Tandem queues with general blocking: A unified model and comparison results

We study tandem queues with finite intermediate buffers and develop a general blocking scheme that unifies and generalizes various blocking schemes previously studied in the literature, such as manufacturing blocking, communication blocking, kanban blocking and its variations. In the general blocking scheme, job movement and service at each stage are controlled by three parameters, which represent, respectively, the upper limits (at that stage) on work-in-process inventory, finished goods inventory, and buffer space. We derive a set of recursive equations that characterize the dynamics of the system, in terms of the job completion and departure processes, and establish comparison results for these processes in the settings of stochastic ordering, variability ordering and stochastic convexity. Free of distributional assumptions, the results provide characterization of system behavior with respect to the control parameters as well as to the arrival and service processes. We also compare system performance under two different modes of operation: make-to-order versus make-to-stock, and demonstrate the trade-off between improving service and reducing inventory. Numerical studies are also presented to illustrate the diversity of performance trade-off, including composition of inventory, offered by the general model.Supported in part by NSF under grant ECS-89-96201.     

抽油机球铁齿轮的化学成分及生产工艺

为提高抽油机减速器齿轮铸件的机械性能，提出以Sn代替Mo作为合金元素，并通过试验确定了合理的Si、Cu、Sn的加入量。指出Si加入量应控制在1．9％－2．1％范围内，同时加入0．36％～0．9％的Cu和0．025％～0．07％的Sn，可保证球铁的强度和延伸率都满足QT700－2的要求。鉴于试件与实际铸件的表面硬度有一定的差值，为提高铸件表面硬度，进行了余热正火试验，并给出了铸件在铸型内的时间－冷却温度曲线。最后根据球铁化学成分的选择结果，进行了齿轮生产试验。     

On modeling the design of cellular manufacturing systems

A new optimization model is discussed for the design of cellular manufacturing systems. It is based on an integer programming formulation that updates some other models by eliminating redundant machine assignment and cost coefficients dependent on cell configuration. To reduce computational burdens, a simplified integer programming model and a decomposition algorithm are proposed. Several computer solutions were performed to evaluate the performance of the new model. The computational results are discussed.
